Almost since the pre-Qin era, although the Xiongnu, the two Han Dynasty, Xianbei, Sui and Tang dynasties, but the life in the Western Regions has not changed much, the dominant position is still the ancient people who live here in ancient times, believing in Buddhism from Tianzhu, and the later generations are full of Yi ~ Silan characteristics of the Western Regions are completely different, now here is still a pure land of Buddhism.

The Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains formed a closed political space with considerable protection, and the protection of the Central Plains Dynasty from the most powerful period of China also made it a happy land on the Silk Road, and the Turks or Xiongnu entrenched in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains were either defeated by the destruction and decay, or fled to Central Asia and were driven out of the Western Regions.

The paradise of Buddhism in the Western Regions lasted until the Northern Song Dynasty, the weak Central Plains Dynasty no longer had the strength and energy to operate the Western Regions, the Qarakhanid Dynasty from Central Asia brought the Yi ~ Silan that has spread to this for more than a hundred years, and the South Silk Road of the Buddha Kingdom in Khotan and Qiuzi carried out a hundred-year war, after destroying the two countries, and then fought a tragic battle with the Xizhou Uighurs entrenched in the homeland of Gaochang, and most of the Western Regions Buddhism was completely destroyed at this time.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Chagatai Khanate destroyed the only remaining Uighurs in the eastern Buddhist state, Xizhou, and completely concealed the Western Regions on the Silk Road to the appearance of later generations.

However, in this era, Li Jie's arrival brought this kind of destruction in advance.

The Vikings from Northern Europe believed in the Norse gods, such as the main god Odin, the god of thunder, the Franks, the Romans, the Bolgars of Western and Central Europe, the Magyars and the Alans, and other small nomadic tribes scattered throughout Eastern Europe and North Asia who practiced the Immortal Heaven.

However, there are some Sogdians, Tocharians believe in Buddhism, but unfortunately these people belong to the bottom of the migrating and flowing national army, after all, the alliance between the Zhaowu nine surnames and the Min and Tang Dynasties is quite close, although Li Jie's national migration even they are pitted, but after all, they got the news in advance, and the countries urgently gathered almost all their subjects to defend the country during this time, and the number of people who were involved was not large.

In the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most destructive power has always been Zuo Liangyu's department in the official army, because Zuo Liangyu was beaten several times and the whole army was scattered, and his army almost took in defeated soldiers from all over the world, rebel peasant armies, local wealthy clans, and it was not his hometown anywhere, so he was able to exert his hands and feet wherever he was in trouble.

The same Han people are still like this, not to mention these barbarian migration armies from Asia and Europe, the Kingdom of Khotan in southern Xinjiang was broken three centuries ahead of schedule, and Qiuzi, where the Anxi capital is located, is at the most difficult moment.

"Quick! Hurry up! Cheng Wuting's voice was almost hoarse, facing the scorching sun of the Western Regions, his dark head was full of sweat, and his voice was almost inaudible.

Under his drinking order, a group of turtle soldiers and Anxi soldiers carried more than a dozen boiled cauldrons up to the city, and the pot was crooked against the city wall, and with a bang, the hundreds of barbarian warriors who were attached to the ant and besieging the city screamed almost at the same time.

Fortunately, they learned the power of the legendary Chinese defense weapon gold juice, boiling dung soup and all kinds of human and animal feces and urine poured down together, not to mention the power, just the smell can be smelled for three or four miles, and compared with boiling water and oil, the adhesion of gold juice is stronger, and it is more likely to cause wound ulceration and infection.

More than a dozen pots of boiling gold juice were poured down, except for the unlucky ones who were killed by the fall, in fact, there were not many casualties, but this terrifying blow effect frightened the besieging enemy troops away, hundreds of siege warriors with yellow soup hanging all over their bodies, bubbling and festering, and emitting a foul smell cried and fled backwards, and tens of thousands of migrating ethnic siege armies were finally frightened and retreated back.

Flags, shoes, torn sheepskins, and scattered everywhere, except for a place of corpses left in front of the city, finally became empty.

However, Cheng Wuting, who was leaning on the city wall, was not happy at all, there were still a lot of materials for gold juice, but there was not much fuel left for the fire, Qiuci City was the location of the capital of Anxi, and half of the soldiers and horses in Anxi were stationed, and there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Qiuci, but now, there are only more than 15,000 left.

It has been more than a month and a half since the return from Shule Town, and Qiuzi Town has repelled more than 30 such attacks in total, but each time the migratory peoples who have been repulsed have new latecomers to fill in in less than half a day, and the next day's attack has been repeated, and what makes Cheng Wuting even more worried is that many barbarians who have lost confidence in the siege of the city have taken the whole clan around the city and marched towards Gaochang in the rear, where the Tang Xizhou is located, with more than 200,000 immigrants from the Central Plains, guarding Luntai, Guazhou, Xizhou and other enclave where Datang went out.

It's a pity that Cheng Wuting is already unable to protect himself at this time, and he doesn't know how long he can hold out, and he also knows that there will be no reinforcements at all!

Anxi is like a shield to a warrior in the Tang Dynasty, the shield is punctured, and the warrior can discard it, but the sword stabs at the warrior, and the shield has to sacrifice itself to resist no matter what.

Anxi also implements the spirit of the shield from beginning to end, the Anshi Rebellion in history, that is, the counterinsurgency army dominated by the Anxi camp defeated the Anshi rebels, Gao Xianzhi, the protector of the capital of Anxi, was beheaded, and the Anxi general Li Siye died on the battlefield, and in the end, Anxi fell to the hands of the Tubo and Xizhou Uighurs.

Now Cheng Wuting is also exerting this spirit of self-sacrifice, burning himself, and doing everything possible to drag down the army of migratory nationalities from the west, and his heart is crossed, and in the face of the Anxi army that is tired and can barely walk in the city, Cheng Wuting made a promise that he himself did not believe.

"Your Majesty's army will arrive soon, everyone cheer up, let those Guanzhong soldiers see who is the real iron-boned man!"

"Kill the enemy and repay the country!"

This lie seemed to have its own unique magic, and the Anxi soldiers, who were already tired like walking corpses, stood under the battle banner of the Anxi Protectorate again in Cheng Wu's hoarse voice, roaring a minor tune from Guanzhong, carrying baskets of arrows, stones, wood, and gold juice, and busy the city and the city.

However, Bai Zhen, the king of Qiuci, did not have as much confidence as Cheng Wuting, lying on the head of the city and looking to the east, watching another stream of barbarians from the west bypassing Qiuci City and continuing to penetrate into the eastern territory of his kingdom, Bai Zhen couldn't help but look at it, and screamed sadly in the direction of Chang'an.

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?"

…………

Jiaohe Ancient City, the former capital of the former country of the Han Cheshi, was also the first stronghold of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, but at this time, it was also densely guarded by the barbarians of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

Jiaohe Ancient City is located on the island in the middle of the river of two rivers, hence the name Jiaohe, the city wall here is towering, like a huge shuttle in general, the city head, the same is a forest of armor soldiers, but looking here, the barbarians under the city head are unscrupulous loud laughter.

"Break through here, and then go west to the Tang Dynasty! It's all the territory of the Tang people, think of the riches of Constantinople! Be sure to grab a good light! ”

Ragnar, the Viking Earl from the Scandina Peninsula, excitedly raised the huge battle axe in his hand, and more than a thousand Viking warriors immediately shouted excitedly, these tall barbarian warriors in Northern Europe were strong and strong, living in harsh conditions in Northern Europe, making them particularly cruel, especially love to plunder, and crossed the Eurasian continent from the Vikings to rob the legendary Chang'an.

Not only them, but the two counts of Burgundy of the Franks, the five Anglo-Saxon tribes, and the seventeen unknown small tribes of Central Asia, a total of 120,000 people, gathered under the small Jiaohe City, looking at the fertile land outside the Jiaohe City, these nomads couldn't help but leave saliva, how could they not know that there was such a beautiful land in the East before?

Lay down here! Slaughter all the natives and take it for yourself! After the improvised tribal alliance and the Viking leaders consulted, more than 30,000 barbarian warriors roared together in Jiaohe City.

The boat made of chopping poplar was pushed into the river by the Vikings who were good at navigation, and the European barbarians and Asian nomadic tribes went down the river like dumplings, and thousands of migratory barbarians rushed to the east of Jiaohe City like hundreds of sharp arrows, which was the only passage from Jiaohe City to the outside world.

The rest of the barbarian warriors were also waiting by the river, waiting for the boat to come back and then they continued to set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, and even the camp of nomads followed behind, the old and weak women and children also looked at the island in anticipation.

Once the place is broken, the Tang people's exquisite cloth, sweet food and wine can comfort the hungry them, for the victory, these old and weak women and children do not have the slightest doubt, according to the captured Gaochang torture, the Tang army in Jiaohe City is only more than 900, 900 against 30,000, fools should know, what is the result?

It's a pity that these barbarians don't know that in the East of China, there were once real warriors with more than 100 soldiers to resist the main force of more than 30,000 Huns in Shule City, not to mention that more than 900 were the most elite Anxi soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!

In the shout of the captain, hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows were shot from the east gate of Jiaohe City, and in the roar of the Tang Army's standard crossbow, the simple wooden shield of the Vikings could not resist it at all, but seeing the dozens of Vikings who rushed to Jiaohe City unscrupulously, hundreds of nomadic cavalry fell into the river like blood gourds.

As soon as the battle began, Ragnar and the nomadic Khan king who led the more than ten tribes couldn't help but be furious together, shouting, and more migratory barbarians scolded and rushed towards the city.

Jiaohe City is built on a cliff of more than 30 meters, this steep slope of less than 70 meters has really become the road to hell, no matter how many people these nomads rushed on, how fierce they scolded, but in the end they still turned into a corpse and rolled down, the Tang army on the head of the city contemptuously buckled the crossbow machine continuously, Lao Tzu repelled the various barbarians do not know how much, the scolding is so ugly, how old are you?

The continuous attack angered the barbarians besieging the city even more, shouting and threatening to slaughter the city, while more barbarian warriors were transported onto the ship, and even the old and weak tribes who had camped near Jiaohe City also flocked to the battlefield to cheer loudly.

No one saw that on the dirt slope not far behind them, a general of the Tang Army wearing Mingguang armor surrounded them more like a wolf king than them, peeking back and forth at the flaws.

After watching it for less than a quarter of an hour, a contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of the Tang Army's general's mouth, full of disdain, and Gao Kan snorted coldly: "Except for the large number of people, it is simply useless!"

"Blow the trumpet, attack!"

Gao Kan is the protector of most of the capitals in the clouds, the last Khan of the Turks is captured by him, and the 30,000 Yunzhong soldiers under his command are the elite soldiers and fierce generals who fight with the nomadic soldiers and horses of the steppe all the year round, with Gao Kan's howl, the five thousand Yunzhong cavalry from the right flank are divided into more than a dozen groups in an instant, and they are surrounded in all directions to the back of the Central Asian nomadic tribes who are waiting on the shore to attack the city.

Worthy of being a famous general, Gao Kan saw at a glance the reality of these Central Asian barbarians, in the end, it was a coalition of more than a dozen tribes, seeing the banners of the Tang Army in all directions, as if countless soldiers and horses had outflanked them, the first thing these nomadic tribes thought of was not to fight, but to escape!

The more than 20,000 nomadic cavalry guarding the river blew up and fled to their camp of old and weak women and children, but the Franks, Burkendians, and Anglo-Saxons who were left behind were at a loss, and they scattered in confusion.

Ignoring the Germanic infantry, Gao Kan stared at the Central Asian cavalry running back, gathered his subordinates with a military horn, and stuck to these cavalry in a big circle, forcing these cavalry to not dare to stay for a moment, and rushed back to their respective camps in a panic.

The 20,000 cavalry were divided into more than 10 units in one go, but they could no longer be a threat, and the panicked men kicked and urged the old and weak women and children to pack up their things and slip away, and the tribal alliance of more than 100,000 people was like a fertilized rabbit, and was driven by the 5,000 Tang army and fled to the west.

Escaped less than two miles, the terrain suddenly narrowed, and the panicked Central Asian tribes were driven down the valley like sheep, before they rushed out of the valley, on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, countless Tang Army archers came out, flashing cold arrows aimed at the dense crowd below, and at the same time, there was a cannon at the end of the valley mouth, the famous shaved head soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, three thousand Mo knife hand troops fiercely blocked the road, and the Mo knife hand flashed with a cold light of the two-meter big knife, as if it was an invitation from hell and death.

Seeing the panicked Central Asian tribes, Gao Kan who led the cavalry to gallop towards him laughed and stroked his beard, and without spending a single soldier, he easily forced more than 100,000 Central Asian tribes into a desperate situation.

However, before Gao Kan could give the order to attack, the sudden shouting of killing behind him made his brows frown suddenly, and the narrow white face of the standard Tang beautiful man immediately turned cold.

"Kill, quick and quick!"
